Everyone started a discussion about Cindy and Jack, hoping to get closer to each other.
Instead, I became the bond that brought them closer together.
My roommate Jade came up to me and said, "Wow, I didn't expect Cindy to be so capable. Although she was a top student before, I never thought she could cure cancer now."
"And Jack, just get back together. He spends his girlfriend's money like it's glorious. He has the nerve to say that he lives a good life thanks to his girlfriend. If he really wants to be richer than his girlfriend, your husband is way ahead of them."
I smiled slightly, thinking of my husband, and my heart softened.
When the bride started to toss the bouquet, everyone started to make jokes and get excited.
Jack said he was going to propose, and was immediately pushed onto the stage by his classmates. No one else rushed to the stage, and they watched Jack pick up the bouquet that no one wanted on the ground, walk towards Cindy, and kneel down on one knee to propose.
Cindy covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face as she was moved, and nodded her head in agreement. The audience applauded.
I put my coat on the chair and told Jade I was going to the bathroom.
When I came out, I saw Jack leaning against the wall.
I nodded and was about to leave, but he stopped me.
"Janice , I actually saw you in the car on the way here. You looked really embarrassed riding a shared bike on the road."
" I really didn't expect you to end up like this. When I advised you to work hard and learn from Cindy to go abroad and join a research and development team, wouldn't you have achieved success long ago? After all, your grades are better than hers, but you just insisted on being stubborn."
"Look at our old classmates today. Which one of them is not wearing more expensive clothes than you?"
I explained calmly: "I just had surgery overnight yesterday, and I didn't have time to change..."
He interrupted me impatiently: "Don't be so conceited. Is it so difficult to admit that you are doing badly?"
" I am so glad that I broke up with you. Cindy is much smarter than you and can make more money than you, and you are just a bookworm." I sneered. He only has money in his eyes now. If Cindy was not so capable, would he still be with her?
I felt it was quite boring and just wanted to leave.
" Jack , why haven't you come back for so long?"
Cindy suddenly came over, hugged Jack's arm, and looked at me with her chin slightly raised: "Reminiscing with your old lover?"
Jack quickly hugged her waist: "What old lover? You are the only one I am sure of now."
Cindy touched his cheek: "Of course I know, after all, people will choose the best one."
Cindy looked at me and shook her head: "When Jack broke up with me and got together with you, I was quite indignant. Although I am a top student, I will always be the second top student. You are always above me, and every teacher praises you."
"But now I see that you are nothing special. But as a human being, you have to accept your own incompetence."
"Seeing that you're not doing well right now, to be honest, I'm quite happy, hahaha..."
As he said this, he patted my shoulder and left with a sarcastic smile.
When she passed by me, she whispered in my ear: "You are always better than me in study . Jack once abandoned me and chose you. I swore at that time that one day I would trample you into the dust."
After Jack broke up with Cindy and got together with me, Cindy found me and swore viciously: "One day I will stand above you and let everyone know that I am better than you." It seems that she and Jack are indeed a natural match. They always like to compare with others and always want to be better than others.
But I only compare myself with my past self.
